OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between bedsharing at age 3 months
and breastfeeding (BF) at age 12 months. STUDY DESIGN: Almost all children
born in Pelotas, Brazil in 2004 (99.2%) were enrolled in a cohort study. At
birth, age 3 months, and age 12 months, mothers were interviewed to gather
information on sociodemographic, reproductive, BF, and bedsharing
characteristics. Bedsharing was defined as habitual sharing of a bed between
mother and child for the entire night or part of the night. The analysis was
limited to children from single births who were breastfed at 3 months.
Multivariate analyses were carried out using Poisson regression. RESULTS: Of
4231 live births, 2889 were breastfed at age 3 months. The prevalence of BF
at age 12 months was 59.2% in the children who bedshared at 3 months and 44%
in those who did not (adjusted prevalence ratio [PR] for weaning= 0.75; 95%
confidence interval [CI] = 0.69-0.81; P < .001). Among children who were
exclusively breastfed at 3 months, 75.1% of those who also bedshared were
still breastfed at age 12 months, versus 52.3% of those who did not bedshare
(adjusted PR = 0.63; 95% CI = 0.53- 0.75; P < .001). The adjusted PR was
0.74 (95% CI = 0.60-0.90; P = .003) in children who were predominantly
breastfed and 0.83 (95% CI = 0.76-0.90; P < .001) in those who were
partially breastfed. CONCLUSIONS: Bedsharing at 3 months protected against
weaning up to age 12 months.
